“Said’s performances have been consistently outstanding throughout the year, and it comes as no surprise that he has crossed the 50+ goals mark. He has also made significant contributions in other aspects of the game, proving himself to be a truly versatile and talented player,” praised coach Coss.
“I want to thank Coach Coss, especially since he helped me grow as a player on and off the field,” said Said.
“My advice for him is to stay on track and not get carried away by his numbers this year,” Coss added. “I have seen plenty of great prospective players who grow to amount to nothing. He is still young and has a lot of areas where he can grow. My suggestion is to stay humble and hungry to learn each day.”
